Chapter 278 Choice!

[Please, player 'Su Ze', choose one permanent Halo for the Jinghai University District:]

[Option 1: Endless Life — All players within the area will have their maximum health permanently increased by 20%.]

[Option 2: Bloodthirsty Frenzy — All players within the area will have 3% of the damage they deal converted into their own health.]

[Option 3: Steel Bastion — The durability of all buildings within the area will be permanently increased by 20%.]

[Option 4: Fatal Strike — All players within the area will have their damage dealt to Supernatural Entities above Lv.4 permanently increased by 5%.]

[Option 5: Life and Death Together — When players in the area form a team, they can distribute any single instance of fatal damage received among all team members (requires the consent of all team members).]

As soon as these five options appeared, the Public Channel exploded.

Tens of thousands of players were frantically spamming the channel, their words filled with excitement.

[6th Floor - 461 - Tian Li (tenant): Holy crap, the second one is good! It can even heal!!]

[8th Floor - 114 - Li Tie (landlord): Bullshit! Didn't you see the fourth option? The levels of Supernatural Entities will definitely get higher and higher in the future. A 20% damage increase against high-level monsters is the god-tier skill! This is solid, real damage!]

[5th Floor - 991 - Wang Xian (tenant): Oh my, I think the first one is good. You need high health to survive. You young people are just too impulsive.]

[9th Floor - Chen Xueming (landlord): Everyone shut up and take a good look at the fifth option.]

Once Chen Xueming spoke, the channel instantly became much quieter.

Many players subconsciously re-read the fifth option, and immediately after, the chat was flooded with profanities.

[5th Floor - 751 - Zhao Guo (tenant): Holy crap, in that case, couldn't we distribute damage to avoid fatal crises?!]

[1st Floor - 431 - Tu Wenwen (tenant): Sounds great, but... if someone doesn't agree, wouldn't this Halo be a complete waste?]

[4th Floor - 647 - Liyu (tenant): With Boss Su Ze here, who would dare to disagree?! I agree, let's choose this!!]

Inside Dormitory 404.

Qiao Yunge couldn't even bother eating the apple in her hand, pointing at the panel in mid-air and shouting.

"What else is there to choose? You have to pick the fifth one even with your eyes closed!"

Jiang Yuwan was scribbling calculations in her notebook with a pen, speaking without looking up.

"We already have 'Unity is Strength', and now adding this... I feel like we have more of a safety net. Plus, with this, the Leaders are less likely to be picked off one by one."

"Regardless of anything else, as long as these two Halos are stacked together, even if all sixty thousand of us have average stats, we can still surround and grind down even the toughest monsters."

Su Ze leaned back on the sofa, his gaze lingering on the fifth option for two seconds.

There was no need to hesitate at all.

"I choose the fifth option."

His voice, through system authority, spread directly throughout the entire Jinghai University.

The notification sound for the Halo taking effect had just faded when the text on the panel scrolled again.

[Please, player 'Su Ze', continue to choose a special functional building for the Jinghai University District:]

[Option 1: Healing Spirit Spring — Consumes copper coins to quickly restore the injuries and Stamina of players over a large area.]

[Option 2: Elemental Altar — Consumes special materials to temporarily add elemental damage such as ice, fire, or lightning to weapons, lasting for one hour.]

[Option 3: Gladiator Arena — Provides an absolutely safe simulated combat environment; the winner can obtain a small amount of combat merit points and random resource rewards.]

[Option 4: War Furnace — Can force the synthesis of a large amount of low-level basic materials into higher-level materials at a certain ratio (up to Rare grade).]

[Option 5: Creator Workshop — Can only be used by the regional Leader (currently Su Ze). Consumes a massive amount of copper coins to forcefully condense any [core components] for which the blueprints are already known (limited to one use per game round).]

Seeing these five building options, the women in Dormitory 404 all gathered around.

Liu Qiaofei looked at the fourth option, her eyes lighting up.

"Senior Su Ze, the War Furnace seems very suitable for our current situation. Everyone goes out scavenging every day, and all they bring back are basic materials that are basically junk. If we could synthesize rare materials, our equipment could get a major overhaul."

Su Meier curled her lips, reaching out to point at the fifth option.

"Little Qiaofei, your eye for things still isn't sharp enough. Look at the fifth one, it can forcefully conjure up the core components for blueprints."

Hearing this, Ye Qingqing, who was nearby, also realized it and quickly opened the folder in her hand.

"Mr. Su, we happen to have three blueprints of perfect quality sitting in our warehouse, and all we're missing are the core components!"

Su Ze lightly tapped his fingers on the sofa armrest.

He was quickly calculating the special buildings he already had in his head.

Explosion-Proof Trench, Research Center, Prayer Altar, damaged long-distance teleportation altar, generals altar, as well as the Simulation Training Ground and Scientific Research Experimental Base.

In terms of Halos, besides the newly acquired Prairie Fire, there were also Unity is Strength, Heavenly Blessing, Increasing Revenue and Reducing Expenditure, and Restoration of All Things.

The foundation for the entire Jinghai University had already been built very solidly.

With a base of tens of thousands of people, standard material synthesis would eventually be completed sooner or later.

But at this stage, there was simply nowhere to get perfect quality core components.

The Flame turret he had just forcefully upgraded using the [Engineering] Bond had already given him a taste of the benefits of perfect quality buildings.

If he could build the remaining perfect anti-aircraft turret and the gate...

"Select the fifth option, Creator Workshop."

Su Ze made his decision directly.

[Ding! Selection confirmed! Jinghai University District has obtained the special functional building — Creator Workshop!]

[This building has been automatically placed on the Rooftop.]

Shi Yetang stood in the corner, listening to these options, feeling completely numb.

Actually, this special building wasn't absurd, after all, it could only be used once per round, but...

Combined with Su Ze's ability to unconditionally upgrade quality... it was simply heaven-defying!

As an old hand, she already knew what Su Ze was thinking; he was definitely going to build that gate and then upgrade its quality!

Su Ze was indeed thinking exactly that, only Shi Yetang didn't know about the existence of the [Treasure Gathering] Bond, otherwise she would definitely have shouted "Holy crap".

The distribution of rewards was not over yet.

The last line of golden text on the panel, flashing with dazzling light, jumped out on its own.

[Now granting exclusive reward to the first-place player 'Su Ze': One unconditional star-up opportunity for any special functional building!]

[Please select the building target you wish to star-up.]

As soon as this line of text appeared, the entire Jinghai University channel went completely silent.

Everyone held their breath.

Unconditional star-up!

Special buildings already possessed heaven-defying functions; if they were to be upgraded by another star, what kind of monster-level thing would they become?

Inside Dormitory 404, the women were also all looking at Su Ze nervously.

"Are you going to star-up the Creator Workshop?" Qiao Yunge asked tentatively, "Maybe the cooldown could be shortened, changing it from once a month to once a day?"

"Or the Prayer Altar?" Jiang Yuwan offered a suggestion, "If the Prayer Altar is starred up, the probability of rolling top-tier items will definitely increase significantly."

Su Ze did not speak.

He pulled up his building list, his gaze scanning back and forth over it.

The Creator Workshop was indeed tempting, and the Prayer Altar also had a lot of potential.

But his gaze eventually locked firmly onto the [generals altar].

The generals altar.
